Logres Cluster Timeline

ASY	Events
0	The Sack of Sol: This event is of such significance that it causes the formation of a new calendar (which had actually been needed for quite some time) After Solar Year or ASY.
5	The Night of Long Knives: Fringer treachery results in the death of most of the legitimate government of the Logres Cluster. The self-proclaimed king Vortex, heir to commonwealth governor Korenz, flees and meets Maltese. Maltese prophesies the fall of Vortex and the fringers in Logres. The fringers and Vortex rejoin.
7	Rose and Thrym Pendragon arrive in the Logres Cluster with a mecha force. With support from Maltese and many of the local government, Rose is proclaimed Warlord. While Rose wishes to form a new government on Commonwealth lines, Thrym argues for a different type of government better suited to current needs. Though Rose dominates, the two compromise throughout her reign.
8	Rose defeats Vortex's forces while Thrym keeps the fringer forces away. Vortex dies when his space platform explodes.
9	Using noble-piloted mecha, Rose and Thrym defeat a much larger fringer force.
12	Maltese repairs the pre-human beacon of Sterreven proclaiming it to be a memorial to the Commonwealth. Once repaired, the beacon is immediately perceptible to most psis in the cluster.
24	Grenn and Gormin Titagel marry.
25	Orris Tintagel is born.
28	Kaydo Tintagel is born.
33	Lena Tintagel is born.
35	Rose is assassinated (not by fringers). Fringers begin a major campaign against Corron and Cymryn.
36	A fringer warlord is "elected" "Emperor of Sol."
38	Under Thyrm's command, cluster forces beat back the fringers. At a post campaign celebration Thrym meets Grenn Tintagel, wife of Admiral Gormin Tintagel (not a noble).
39	Gormin Tintagel withdraws from Thrym's court out of jealousy toward Thrym's action towards his wife. When he refuses to send tax revenues, Thrym mounts a campaign against him, but is supported by few. Zhia-Mor Tintagel is born.
40	Gormin is killed in an assault on Thrym's forces.
41	At Thrym's court Orris Tintagel meets Erlo Keyns who had been imprisoned for acts of war against the picti. She concieves a child by him. (That child's whereabouts are currently unknown.) Steadily increasing warfare with the invading fringers begins again.
42	Thrym marries Grenn Tintagel. Bioagents render Thrym effectively sterile. A faction of the picti supportive of Erlo Keyns asks for his return. Permission is granted and Orris Tintagel leaves with Erlo, but does not marry him.
53	[100 point characters] Play began at this point.
54	Rumors of psychotronic technology at Glaston Tor (in the Logres Cluster) and Frallac (in the near galaxy) begin to spread. Erlo Keyns and Orris Tintagel return to court and bring the picti under Thrym's command. With her sister's aid Lena Tintagel marries Mendies Traveler. Thrym divides his command into administrative districts called duchies. Erlo Keyns is given command of Thia. Mendes Traveler is given Forbyreth. Yuren is given The Gurn. Although some 23 dukes are appointed through years 54 and 55, many districts are left without.
55	In a major battle in which he introduced micro-warp equipped mecha, Thrym breaks the back of invader military power for a number of years. Thrym dies from his battle wounds. The cluster begins fracturing along the lines of Thrym's duchies. Fringers begin taking back a number of worlds.
57	[110 point characters]
58	The system of Wentry undergoes a technological and economic rennaisance as a successful pilgrimage and trade mission to Sol and related areas returns with technology which upgrades Wentry's technology almost overnight.
59	During a peace conference in the semi-neutral system of Trecatry a robot vehicle uses FTL jump drive to enter into orbit around the planet and follow a ballistic course to landing in an impossible feat of piloting. The vehicle lands outside the major preservationist schola and reveals a mech with the following written on the platform below, "Whosoever shall safely bring this mech from its rest is rightly ruler of all Logres." The gathered nobles attempt to activate the mech, but none succeed.
60	News of the so-called King's Mech causes a great of travel to the Trecatry system.
61	Current campaign date. [120 point characters] Minor wars are reduced in scope and violence as resources are used to bring individuals to attempt the use the King's Mech.
63	Violence increases as rumors spread that no one can use the King's Mech.
64	Two tournaments are attempted to aid in choosing a new Warlord. The results are inconclusive. Another tournament is scheduled.
